HNC/ HND in Business Management/ Marketing (Full Time)

BTEC Higher Nationals are designed to provide a specialist vocational programme, linked to professional body requirements and National Occupational Standards where appropriate.

They offer a strong, sector-related emphasis on practical skills development alongside the development of requisite knowledge and understanding.

The qualifications provide a thorough grounding in the key concepts and practical skills required in their sector and their national recognition by employers allows direct progression to employment. We teach by delivering short lectures. Tutors will also provide support to help you with your assignments. You’ll get feedback and support on your assigned coursework. You’ll also take part in workshops and work in groups for some of your presentations and project work.

This course is a HNC/D in Business (pathways in Business Management/ Marketing).

The HNC is delivered over one year and the HND over two years. The course will take place two days per week (one day likely being 3-9pm). This course is awarded by Pearson. The course will start in September 2017.

The course will be delivered on the Milnthorpe Road Campus.

There is an option to complete modules rather than the full qualification. Modules are priced at 625 pounds per module.

In addition to your time in college learners should plan to undertake additional independent study to enable them to complete the required assessments. Learners should allocate approximately ten hours of study per week outside of college.
